A morte e ritorno.

My family’s motto circles in my mind as I look this problem dead on and try to figure it out.

I’ve faced worse than this. Survived worse odds than this. I won’t let this failure break me.

We have 72 hours to turn this around.

72 hours to make a new plan out of the dregs of the old.

72 hours until all hope is lost.

This task is impossible, but I still like my chances. I have an ace in my pocket and his name is Mason Cain. He might not want to help me, but I don’t plan on giving him a choice in the matter.

My name is Rosalie Oscura. And I refuse to let anything beat me.

This series is set in the world of Solaria five years after Zodiac Academy and ten years after Dark Fae and book one was previously published as Darkmore Penitentiary. There is some character crossover but all series can be read independent of each other without spoilers. The female lead will end up with more than one love interest.

Forgive me book boyfriends, for I have SIN’d! 🥵
I BURN for the brand of crazy that is Sin Wilder. He is Leon Night and Ryder Draconis combined. Name a better man recipe. I’ll wait.

These authors could write the ingredients on the back of a cereal box, and I would read it. Rosalie is a Faetalian badass! There is much I want to say about every character and plot point, but if you have not read Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, it might spoil it. So… 🤐

Read if you are a fan of…
⟢ Zodiac Academy
⟢ Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac
⟢ The Twisted Sisters
⟢ Reverse Harem
⟢ Character-Driven Stories
⟢ Baddie FMC’s
⟢ Possessive Protective Alphaholes that have a Marshmallow Core
⟢ One more shoutout to MY WILD BOY — SIN WILDER 😍
⟢ Lots of Spice
⟢ More Spice (seriously, you wouldn’t think they are trying to break out of prison with how much time they spend doing the horizontal tango)


“I’m not crazy,” he hissed. “I’m built different.”

"I won't let them take you, wild girl. You're my fantasy, not theirs."

It was a tit off. Survival of the tittest. And my girl had the best tits in town so it was obvious who would win. Even Esme’s grapefruits didn’t have a nipple on Rosalie’s mangoes.

“If I’m doomed to love the sun from all the way down here on Earth, then at least give me wings so I can fly close enough to burn,” I murmured.

“Your smile is a skill no one in this entire world could master but you. It’s a thousand riddles waiting to be solved, and sometimes you make me feel like I can find the answers.”

“Spoon me. Or fork me if you prefer. I just need to be cutleried.”

“Sorry I was so angry with you,” I breathed.
“Sorry I’m so anger inducing,” Sin replied seriously, causing me to laugh. “But I have a big dick, so that helps balance the scales, right?”

Yeah so this one tore my heart out and played kickball with it! 😭😭😭

That aside, this book was a good ride. We are back with Rosa and the gang trying to break out and now we are up against a timeline of 72 hours to get it done and escape or the window of opportunity will close on them forever. There was a lot of laughs and more bonding within the group which I loved so much! This book was also surprisingly shorter than the previous two and it made for really good pacing. The only complaint I have is that there was WAY too much spicy time going on especially in the middle of a huge escape plan. (seriously, it was ridiculous)

Sin Wilder is an agent of chaos and I love him so much! He continues to be my favorite character, along with Ethan, and their friendship is also the absolute best! Roary finally steps up in this one and it's about time! Cain is coming around but still has a long way to go before I really care about him like the others. Rosa is Rosa, she is a baddie.

That ending was a classic twisted sisters punch to the heart and I can't believe I have to wait for however long it will be to find out what happens next. 😭😭😭

✅ Multiple POVs
✅ Characters
✅ Prison setting
✅ Faes and magic
✅ Pace and plot
✅ Reverse-harem
✅ Some MM included in the RH
✅(🆗) Smut (good, but weird timing)
❗️❗️Cliffhanger
❗️❗️Trigger warnings: violence, some gore (not too detailed), and mentions of past child abuse


It was very entertaining, but the incessant smut was an issue for me in that one.


OMG, THAT ENDING 😭😭😭
I knew it was a bad idea to start this series before it was completed. 😭😭😭

Feral Wolf picks up right where Alpha Wolf left us: Rosa and her gang are still trying to escape Darkmore, but they now have only 72 hours to come up with plan B. After those 72 hours, the FIB will send agents to Darkmore to take back control of the prison, and all hope of escaping will be lost.

This book is shorter than the previous ones, but the pace is fast, and Rosalie’s gang can’t catch a break. There is also more bonding between the guys, and some relationship development, which I liked. Honestly, it’s weird to say this about a reverse harem book, but my issue with this book was the smut.

I don’t mind smut, but it just doesn’t fit in this book because of the race against the clock. They are on a tight timeframe and they also have to run and hide from the inmates who want to kill them, but they still take the time to have sex on more than one occasion… I don’t understand how they can be turned on to the point of forgetting that their lives are in immediate danger and just stop for a threesome along the way. It was spicy, but it just didn’t fit in the context, except for the few instances where it served to boost Sin’s power.

"That all of your damage is what makes you so beautiful to me. It's not the face you show the world, it’s the hurt you've overcome to claim your crown. I can see the pain of my own past in you and so much more besides. You're a warrior, a survivor and you're more beautiful for every mark upon your flesh."


Rosalie is still a great main character in this book, and I like how mature she is when she deals with the guys and their relationships. She handles them like a pro, she makes sure that no one feels left out, and she takes no bullshit from them. She is the boss and they know it. She took the time to make sure that Sin felt included, and she spoke with Cain many times to explain to him that she cared about him and wanted him to come with her, even though she shouldn’t. There is no useless drama because of miscommunication… Except if you count the drama Sin creates because he thinks he has a special secret language with Rosalie. 😉

“Stop pouting.” I pointed at Roary and his broody sexiness. “You want her? Then lay your claim. Are you a Lion or a lampshade?”


Thankfully, Roary finally faed up and stopped internally whining about the fact that he wanted Rosalie but wasn’t good enough for her. I liked him more in this book than in the previous one. He was also more present and active in the plot, and he was forced to interact more with the other members of Rosalie’s gang, which I am not complaining about either. I loved seeing him and Ethan become buddies and take comfort in each other’s presence since they didn’t have a pride or a pack anymore.

Ethan also faed up in Feral Wolf and finally claimed Rosalie in front of his pack (I was having flashbacks from Warrior Fae there for a while… iykyk 😉 ). I really liked him in this third book, now he reminds me more of the Ethan we caught glimpses of in the Ruthless Boys series. Proud, strong, and doesn’t give a shit about what others think. It was also cute to see how he was realizing that what he had with Roary, Rosalie, and the others might be better than what he had with his wolf pack and that maybe starting a new pack was not so bad after all, even if it was a weird af pack.

“No wonder you hate the world, kitten,” I breathed. “The world’s been a big, bad beastie to you.”


“Help me or get away from me, Mason.”


One thing that I really liked about the characters in this third book is that we finally get to know more about Cain’s past. We had glimpses of it in the first books, but in this one, we get to see just how shitty his childhood was, and it helped the other characters understand why he was such a grumpy meany all the time… Now that they can see him as more than a jerk guard, I can’t wait for him to build bonds with them and become a part of the harem. It has already started in this book once he took the time to listen to Ethan and Roary when they explained that they were both in Darkmore to protect someone else, and Cain had to admit that maybe they were not the monsters he thought them to be.

"Oh okay, so you're sure that's all then, are you? You're certain that Sin won't think there's some secret plan going on down there that only he is privy to and randomly decide that the best course of action is to choke Cain to death with a fucking lemon or something equally ridiculous?" I challenged.


Sin is just as wild and chaotic as ever, but he starts to realize in this book that his crazy ideas might not be the best and that he might lose Rosalie if he doesn’t stop doing whatever he feels like doing, like releasing the Belorian. Twice. We can see more depth to him in this book, and even though he tries to hide it, he shows more vulnerability than he has before because he is afraid of being left behind or being rejected by Rosalie.

So, while I don't regret giving in and reading this series before it was all wrapped up, I should have been more prepared for this heartwrenching ending. Now I can only wait and hope that the fourth book will be released soon!

Unfortunately, this book is sex, with no plot and questionable writing decisions made by the authors. I'm not sure how you make a "escape a prison" series and advertise you're pushing it to 5 books and then make a book filled with so much waste of time. As previous comments have said, this is literally going to a room, have sex, move to another room have sex on and on and onnnnnnn, which was often repetitive and boring. I skimmed so hard I would break the Olympic record for skimming.

The ending was terrible, not sure if the authors remember but did they not actually destroy the psych ward in chapter 16? "47 hours until the FIB arrive?" and yet at the end Roary is...in....the...psych...ward....

It appears to be a common trait in most of their books where the authors create this tiny background issue and then pepper it in at random parts and then drop it at the end of each book, only to make the readers mad and want to read the next one to find out what happens? At this stage, I don't even care. We all know there are two more books to come and know that the next book will be another filler and book five will be the end with the last 5 chapters to be "5 years in the future" "16 years in the future" etc etc. There is nothing wrong with making a duo or a trilogy. This book needed to be the end. You can write a different book with a different storyline with the same characters if you have more of their story to tell. Its fineeee. Anybody rating this above 3 stars is honestly delusional.

More time, consideration, and plot planning could have really benefitted this book and series.

If you put a horney teenager on steroids + give them magical abilities + put them in an escape room with unlimited time with their wet dreams + make sure they're crazy fans of Prison Break but have 0 brain cells => you get this book.
Barely a 1.5 bland bland bland⭐

This book could have been 50 pages.
It could have also been joined with books 2 and 4 (which I am not sure I will read).

373 Pages to:
- mate with 1 of the guys (1 page before the sexfest)
- learn how inmates are becoming crazy (that was literally 5 lines)
- attempt once to escape with no plan (also like 2 pages before it went to shit)
- Cain realising there's something more between him and Rosa and decides to protect her (1 page)
- Have sex/be horney an abominable amount of times in the most inconvenient times (I didn't calculate, but I would say 300 pages)
- Suddenly, the last 20 pages had all the action.

If I read this as Erotica genre, it would be perfect!! But I was promised plot and fantasy and just got smut.

And they're driving me crazy because:
- The way they're fucking is as if they have all the time in the world
- How they use their magic is like they have unlimited access/reserve instead of preserving it for escaping!!!!
- POVs that are just more fillers because they had no added value nor brought anything to the story.

YOU ARE TRYING TO ESCAPE THE MOST PROTECTED PRISON!

Pre-read:
I really don't want to read this. I am dreading it. 😣
But I will for the sake of completion and easter eggs... and Ethan and Sin 🤭🤭🤭
Send patience and strength....

Review - 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

(Blame Sin Wilder for my obsession with lemons 😂) - I may also be OBSESSED with him too... SIN WILDER IS MINE!! 😈🖤🍋

One of many lines that made me die from a surprise POV!!

"My heart thrashed with a mixture of fear for my life and sympathy for a root vegetable as I tried not to let my thoughts linger on its location for too long. What horrors it had seen. What a destiny for an innocent carb. 🥔 "  🤣🤣🤣 I'm crying!!!! ....

I didn't think I could love sin wilder anymore than I already do but oh my god, he is SO effing funny in this book, I don't think I've ever laughed so much 🤣🤣 but its so cleverly written because at the same time he is making us laugh, there are snippets about his past and its actually heartbreaking, he makes a joke of it all but really its awful. Made my heart hurt for him 💔 .. Rosa is epic as ever throughout, her relationship with each of the guys blossoming, maybe not the right word to describe them but you'll see what I mean! This book is one rollercoaster of a ride. Buckle up guys, it gets ROUGH AF!! On that note...

That ending 🥺🥺🥺 fuck sake. I don't know whether to be happy or cry. I  think ill cry 😢🤧😬 what an EXPLOSIVE book this was!!! My favourite of the series so far. Mainly because I had all my favourites together and it was absoloutley HILARIOUS...To be honest I dislike one of the guys for their plan at the end, how dare he plan to do that to MY GUY!! 🤬 ... But wow, what a book. I'm feeling pretty speechless and so desperate for the next book. My heart hurts so much from that ending though 💔  ladies you are BRUTAL as always 🙃 but let's be honest, we wouldn't have it any other way 😘

P.s my use of lemons is relevant because that was one BITTER sweet ending.... 🍋🍋

The thing that’s confusing about this book is that there’s a literal hourly countdown at the start of every chapter but absolutely no sense of urgency amongst any of the characters. They’re all like; should we stop what we’re doing to have our third orgy of the day? Yes, why not?

This is probably the most difficult review I have ever written. I don’t even know where to start.

Me right now:


Let me preface this by saying I don’t regret having started this series, I love love love Caroline Peckhams and Susanne Valentis Books, that being said I need to rant about this book, because it disappointed me so much I am still sad about it.

I am going to list all the things I did not like first, buckle up folks, because this is going to be rough. Please excuse me if I get a little heated, still love you guys.



SPOILERS AHEAD!

1. Sin’s Secret Language
OH MY FUCKING GOD. If I have to read about Sin's fucking "secret language" one more time I am going to explode. I love Sin and I love his craziness and I can accept the fact that he keeps on doing it, but I cannot believe that Rosa would actually be stupid enough to fall for it EVERY FUCKING TIME. Like Rosa you are smarter than this, you know he lives in his own world, you do not fall for the same shit three times. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. I am sorry, but it was just really not funny anymore after the first time.

2. The mating bond to Ethan
I can accept the fact that they once fucked under the moon and are now mated, because they have equal power and the moon bonds work different from the Elysian mate bonds. What I cannot accept is the fact that they both end up embracing the mating bond, especially Ethan in this book. They don’t know each other, like at all. I don’t think they even had a full conversation. Sure the sex is great and all, but I don’t get why Ethan would give up his entire life and gang just to be with someone he literally knows nothing about. It frustrated me, because it just did not feel fleshed out at all.



3. Plunger
Do I need to say anything else? No but really, Plunger felt so much like Washer and I really did not need a second character, that made me as uncomfortable as Washer. Even their names are so similar. He honestly just seems like a recycled character and one I don’t vibe with it all. If you are gonna recycle a character, recycle Lane Orion, though nobody could ever be as great as the original.

4. Hastings POV
I do not care, whatsoever. I didn’t need to know that Hastings is a mommas boy and how he is frightened for his life. Hastings was one of the most unimportant side characters in this series, at least for me and I mean for Rosa too, her first attempt at saving him was called off after what felt like five minutes. Please don’t add POVs of characters that are so boring and so unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Even if he turns up as one of the main characters in the next one, which please don’t, I don’t need his POV in this one.



5. The Spice
Yes I absolutely love the spice in all of Carolines and Susannes Books, in my opinion they have the best spice of any book I have ever read. That being said I did not care for it in this one. They are trying to break out of prison, nobody has time for the devil's tango. It honestly really distracted me and not in a good way this time. It felt misplaced and badly timed. There I said it, come for me in the comments.

5.1 A specific Spice Scene
Also excuse me?! They had sex right after Rosa screamed at Sin like that?! It makes it seem like she does not care about him at all. In one scene she talks all about liking Sin's crazy side, but then she is too stupid to understand how his "secret language" works when he does the exact same thing three times, but then pushes it on Sin, yeah of course it is not cool what he did, but I put half the blame on Rosa for being to fucking stupid to realize it. And again fucking right after treating him that shitty, in a moment where it seems like they have lost all hope??? That made me literally so mad. Sin deserves better.
Sorry for mentioning the secret language again, but it really made me angry.

6. Esme
Okay we get it, Esme got great melons, but does she have anything else? Honestly in the end it made me a bit uncomfortable. Every time she is mentioned her tits are the only thing talked about, or her offering herself up for a pack orgy. We stan a sexually confident queen but, she was so over sexualized and did not have a personality apart from that. I don't know, it just really did not sit right with me.

SOILER WARNING: ZODIAC ACADEMY

7. The Spoilers about Zodiac Academy
The spoilers made me actually so mad. Leon talking about one of Gabriel's visions being so horrible in the war five years ago? Darius' fate after trying to break the mating bond? Come on, I thought I could read these books without having to be reminded of the fucking pain Heartless Sky left me in. Either completely leave these kinds of hints out, or publish these books after the other series has ended and then properly refer back to the events that happened previously. I really do not like this in between solution.

Also I know we don't have a definite ending to Zodiac Academy, but the damn spoilers in this series made it clear that Lionel is not in power anymore. So why the fuck would Roary be still in prison altogether?! I mean he even stole something that helped save Alestria and he stole it from Lionel, so whether Dary and Tory or the Celestial Heirs are in Power, they would all clearly pardon him?! It just doesn't make sense to me.



SPOILER WARNING: RUTHLESS BOYS OF THE ZODIAC

8. More Recycled content
Okay I get it, recycling is super important and we love protecting the environment, ,but I don’t think it should be as commonly practised in books, especially when it comes to plot and characters. Like did Rosa really need 4 love interests? Sure Elise should not be the only one who gets all the goods, but I really did not need another series with similar conflict as Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac. Cain felt so much like Ryder and honestly Roary and his issues reminded me of Gabriel. It just all felt a bit been there, done that.



SPOILER WARNINGS ON ZODIAC ACADEMY AND RUTHLESS BOYS OF THE ZODIAC OVER

9. The Ending
I mean of course the ending broke my heart, the entire mission was to set Roary free just for him to be stripped from his order form and stay in the worst section of Darkmore Penitentiary. Guess I will have to wait for the next Part to see what will happen, but honestly I have never been this disappointed after finishing one of Caroline's and Susanne's books. I have to say I am kinda demotivated to even start reading the next Part, not that it is out yet. After finishing book one and two I already felt like it was a little stretched into lengths it did not need to go to and book three really felt so lost. I just hope book four and maybe five will pull me back into my pink glasses phase, because I miss being so sucked into the world already.


Things I liked:
1.
That was baaaad.
Did not get it in the first two books, but that was a funny pun, made me laugh, goal achieved.



2. Sin my bby
I love Sin. He is a very interesting character in my opinion. He is not very typical and I really enjoy reading his POVs. Of course he has some kind of mental disorder and in my opinion most of the mistakes he makes are the faults of people around him who do not know how to deal with him. I love you Sin and after book three I have to say once again, you deserve better than Rosa. Even though I love her, I don’t think she is the right girl for you.

Sorry there are no more points that I liked about this book in particular, I can only repeat that I loved the first two books, apart from a few things.
I just had to get this all off my chest, please note that I don’t mean to offend anyone and again I love the authors and their books to the moon and back, maybe even as much as Seth loves the moon. But because I love them so much I feel like it is important to note what I disliked.



Hope you had a great time reading this, please tell me if you think I am ludicrous in the comments <3

I want to give it a lower rating but I’m unsure if it’s bc it deserves it or bc the ending ruined my enjoyment of the story. That harsh cliffhanger ending was 💔

Save yourself the bullshit cliffhanger & read this story after the next book is published. 3 wasted time stars

I put my life on hold to read this

I get it, you want to keep the story going, but thinking this was the last book and wanting to enjoy it and the ride, put life on hold to read it. Now I wish I would have known it would be continued in another book, and I would have taken the time to do some more important stuff and taken a few days to read and enjoy it. Now I am just really pissed and as much as I love the story, feel like an idiot and don’t know if I will get to reading the next one..I love both the authors, and all of their series, but please just give us a heads up about how many are truly coming…you did this with the last series I read to and that sucked…maybe I am a whiner, but I take my love for reading seriously and am just a fool who blocked off time better spent thinking to enjoy the end of a story, and now it’s not, and I am left scrambling to fix the shit I should have been doing…ugh it’s a great story but doesn’t end with this book..

"All the most brilliant plans come with at least a little risk attached."

This book legit felt like an episode of "24"
Now please bear in mind I have never seen the show. I have no idea what it is about.
The one thing I do know is that there is a timer (I think?)
Anyway, this is what this book felt like. Like a fast paced tv episode in a somehow 400 page book.

Am I complaining? No.
Did I enjoy it? Absolutely.
Am I crying because this is a twisted sisters book that ends in a heart wrenching cliffhanger?

Yes


Yes I am.

"The thing about life is that it has to be worth living."


As always, please enjoy my spoilers with no context. Or don't. Choose to live life how you want to. I can't tell you what to do.

- Sweet Home Alabama
- Mindy's are fucking weird
- The sins of the brother
- The scene in Princess Diaries with the two photos when she gets a haircut. Just that scene.
- "Countdown" by Beyonce
- They don't know that we know they know we know.
- Any cheesy apology scene in any cheesy romance move from the 80's-00's
- "Kim Possible Theme Song"
- I will never look at potatoes the same way again. Thank you very much
- *squid emoji*
- It's a dick in a box


And finishing off with some of my favorite quotes from this book

Roary

"I'm not the man you fell for, I'm the monster he became… If I get my claws into you, I won't let go, and I'll leave my mark for everyone to see."

"I'd kill for this throat, and this mouth, and this flesh. I'd kill an entire army for this. But it's your soul I'd kill the most for. I'd destroy the world so long as your soul was kept untarnished. I'd die by my own hand for that too."

"She was the reason I'd breathe from this day forward, my purpose for living, my everything."


Sin

"But there would be no morals when it came to killing for Rosalie. There were no depths I wouldn't stoop to if her life was under threat. "

"And I wanna worship you every day and every night and have my fate ruled by you. I want my horoscope defined by you, I want every prediction in my life to be your choice, to rest in your hands."

"Say you're mine, wild girl. Promise me and I'll do whatever you want. You can boss me around to your heart's content and I'll sacrifice everything I've got to make all of your wishes come true."


Cain

"I want you all the fucking time. I think about you every moment of every day. I get lost in the memory of your flesh against mine and I lose my mind trying to figure out the truth behind the lies you spin. I watch you whenever you're near and I obsess over you when you're not… You're a thorn which has worked it's way beneath my skin, Twelve, and I've found that I enjoy the feel of you there too much to even try and pull you out."

"You were always going to ruin me, weren't you?"

"Be a good girl and come for them, Twelve. 🥵🥵🥵🥵


Ethan

"I'd risk it for her. I was her warrior and there wasn't a battle I wouldn't walk proudly into in her name."

"But I wasn't fighting this anymore. I was hers and she was mine. "

"I couldn't see any kind of life that didn't have her in it anymore. And there was no enemy I wouldn't face for her. No battle I wouldn't fight. And no war I wouldn't win."


Rosalie💖💝

"I was Rosalie Oscura and nobody got to tell me no."

"I was his. It was just the case that I wasn't only his."

*** 4.5 STARS ***

Feral Wolf is the third book in the Darkmore Penitentiary series and I loved every second of it! It has the perfect balance of action, relationship development and sexy times.

All the characters are different and have their own voice which is something I really like in books, even more in the reverse harem genre. And talking about characters… I cannot say loud enough how amazingly written Sin’s character is. He is insane and lives in his own world with his own perceptions, every time it was his POV I knew I was in for the unexpected and lots of laughs. I also felt very sorry for him in some situations because of this and I liked the way Rosalie handled some of them.

Now that I am talking about Rosalie, I adore her! She is a strong and smart MFC and I love the way she handles the harem’s relationships, in a very mature way with no drama. I am so invested in Cain and Rosalie’s interactions and she gave us great scenes with Roary and Ethan too. I am also enjoying how the MMCs are growing their relationships between them and how we get some MM sexy moments.

Feral Wolf is an excellent continuation to the series but...that ending though...my heart is absolutely broken. I NEED BOOK 4 NOW!!!

So very similar vibe to the second book. Honestly I hated the ending. It was moving fast and so much action like most of their endings but I’m so mad about how it ends, obviously it’s to continue on in the next book but like 😩 and a shocking twist I like Sin now, couldn’t stand him in the second book but he has grown on me.

I’m honestly not sure what to think of this book. It was good. Better than the last one in my opinion. But I really have no idea how everything is going to wrap up in book 4!

I still don't know how I feel after this.

What the hell happened?

That ending!!!! I have never laughed, gasped and been as on edge as I have while reading Feral Wolf.

I loved the countdown and it added so much to every chapter because the pressure is on and the need to get the hell out. Nothing is ever that easy though and especially with Rosalie and Sin's secret language...

Sin had so much screen time and I loved him. His character is hilarious and he's quickly becoming one of my favourites. His outlook on the world is hilarious and refreshing, even if it is slightly warped.

Cain needs to figure out his which way he wants to go, if my head wasn't attached it would have swiveled off with his back and forth.

I really don't know what to say about that ending. I mean the cliff hanger killed me. Whyyyyy????? Why?!?!?!?

2 stars—and the only reason it even got a 2 is because I somehow made it to the end and didn't DNF (which I regret).

I'm reading this series exclusively for the easter eggs connected to Zodiac Academy and honestly, I'm not even sure it's worth reading for them. The plot is nonexistent and the book is pure smut, not in a good way.

I HIGHLY doubt I will continue with this series.

The Stakes are high , the escape from the Solaria's largest and most dangerous Penintentiary are just at fingertips when it all goes down. Now the FIB will be here in just less than three days.

Will Rosalie and her pack of Alphas pull off the biggest hiest of all time? And what about the secret hidden in the penitentiary itself ?

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄:
Last year I found out about these amazing authors and since then I have read almost every book series by them...Every single book was a well deserved 5 Stars from me.

Now, we are back at Darkmore Penintentiary, the most dangerous place on Solaria and the pressure is more intense than ever. I felt so anxious throughout the reading of this book.
Not one moment goes where my mind isn't working out theories for what will happen next but needless to say, the Celestial sisters beat me to it everytime. They are geniuses for pulling off such a plot in a book.

If I had just one word to describe this book...it will be PARAGON...
a Surreal experience unlike anything. I can't freaking praise this book enough and I am just gonna shout out to the whole world to read not just this bit EVERY SERIES from this authors.

Sin, Ethan, Cain, Roary... they all are so different yet similar at their core...they all breath for Rosalie. Choosing between them is like choosing between food and water...NOT POSSIBLE.  Thank god it's RH😏🔥😂.

And Rosalie...oh gosh, Rosalie, I may have a major crush on her, I always thought an Alpha male is attractive to everyone but an Alpha Female? Nothing stands a chance to her.

First Lemons, now potatoes...Youguys!!!
Sin...I freaking adore that guy, everytime he appears, he gets me all clutching my stomach with laughter. Even in dark times, he made the situations light. Him and lemons..😂😂😂
Plunger was 100% cringe level and 101% Hilarious...Everything about this book was so right and fits. The Easter eggs for the different series gets me all in the mood for reread AGAIN..

I am not even gonna bother with the cliffhanger...those who know the Celestial authors, they know. Just a little message to the author themself, Please have a little mercy on us🥺❤, your cliffhangers are brutal with every books.

I may have a secret language with Sin Wilder. He is just such a babe 🍋🍋🍋🍋( if you know you know😀).

“Sorry I was so angry with you,” I breathed. “Sorry I’m so anger inducing,” Sin replied seriously,

Well it’s good, not much has happened here but I still had a fun. I am definitely a reverse harem girl so I loved how Rosa’s relationship with the guys progress and I will read anything from Solaria even though I may or may not be thinking that this book wasn’t necessary🤷‍♀️😀.

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS

line

Star Rating : 5/5 Stars

POV : Multiple

Cliffhanger : YASSSSS

Hero : Roary , Cain , Sin , Ethan

Heroine : Rosa

Pace of the story : Moderate

Angst Rating : 6/10

Heat Rating : 6/10

Triggers Involved : Past Trauma , Kidnapping , Prison Confinement

Plot Summary :
Rosa has only 72 hours. Only 72 hours until the FBI arrives and takes them all. Only that much time to convince a stubborn Officer about their intentions. But things never go as planned. They all have messed up and now none of them will ever be out.

Overall Opinion :
OMG. These authors and their damn cliffhangers. I mean, just tell me who said to them that their cliffhangers were not that bad now!!! It's like a blood bath here. Their cliffhangers keep getting worse and worse and I don't think there will be anything left of my poor heart by the time these all are done with us. Ohh God. That ending had me in tears!! Why would they do that to my favorite character? 😭

Anyways, crying aside, this book was another masterpiece by the sisters duo!! All the characters are perfect, the emotions and the humour is so amazing that I can't even tell you guys about it! I am such an addict for these authors. They write anything and I am gonna read that. No questions asked.

I would definitely recommend this series to all the Dark RH Fantasy romance people! Rosa and her men are crazy and I can promise you guys that they will drive you insane in the best way possible.

Kinda upset

This wasn't as good as the 1st or 2nd book.I damn near love those. This became more sexual and a bit I guess they wanted to make it more light hearted. Yeah, I laughed at the funny moments. They kept repeating they don't have enough time to do something...then they do it anyways...mostly humping each other.
It seems like we waited almost a year for this book and I had to encourage myself to finish. Towards the end it started giving that same energy the last 2 did. I'm also sure they said this was THE LAST INSTALLMENT and yet...here we are with another cliffhanger and they done fucked up my Rorary. 😡 I have no idea how the authors are gonna engage the readers from here. Just a lil note...you don't need 6,8, or 15 books to write a story. Since y'all did this I hope the next book doesn't disappoint. You dragged out Ruthless Boys till the last book just wasn't even worth it.

Super disappointed by the ending and cliffhanger. Felt like the book dragged on as well. Disappointing since the first two were such GOOD books.

4.5 ⭐️ this was definitely my favorite in the series so far. This took place over the course of like two days, so it was super fast-paced with nonstop action. At the end of the previous book, all the escape plans went to shit, so Rosalie and gang have to figure out a new escape plan before the FIB takes over the prison in 72 hours.
Everything that could possibly go wrong goes wrong. The crew has to think on their feet and FAST in order to come up with a new plan. The prison is in a state of absolute anarchy, and the other prisoners are the biggest danger. I felt like so much happened in this book—I almost can’t believe that it took place over such a short period of time. The romance and spice are great, but I was honestly more invested in the prison escape plot than anything. We got another moon mate (yay!), but Sin was driving me INSANE in this installment (but he’s wildly entertaining so it’s okay).
The ending of this HURT and I’m so nervous to start the last book in this series!!
